What do you think is causing this climate change?

If the Sun is causing Climate Change on other planets, why do you think it isn't doing the same here?What do you think is causing this climate change?Well, you are correct but what scientists are saying (not the media and environmentalists who have ulterior motives) is that man-made pollution on Earth is causing the Earth to warm more then it would otherwise. How much more is the big question and scientists are deeply divided on this with evidence pointing from minimal to substantial.



I'm not sure if this is the way to do this but to answer Gary F's questions:

1: All planets that we have been able to measure with enough accuracy are warming and we (scientists) assume all others are too.

2: Energy does not reach the Earth immediately, there is a latency caused by the distance from the sun and the time needed for the full spectrum of energy to be partially transformed into infra-red energy through absorption and re-emission.

3: There IS a very strong relationship between sunspots and Earth heating but you'll have to delve into astrophysical journals to get the details. Simply stated, the sun spot cycle and the Earth heating cycle are not in phase (again, due to the time lag between hotter sun and hotter Earth) but the relationship correlates.
What do you think is causing this climate change?
I'm sorry. I believe it is NASA sending up craft that are poking the already gigantic hole in Earth's ozone.
What do you think is causing this climate change?
It has happened before and will happen again. It is the order of things. This world will not last forever and as it says in Revelations in the bible, there will be a new world. So who knows why! The scientists are in conflict and Gore made a fortune on his view of the climate.
I don't have sources for this but in my brief studying of it, it seems to me that climate change is just a natural course the world takes. There will probably be another ice age as the planet sorts it self out. A lot of the changes have been due to the shifting of the axis of the planet due to earth quakes and the like.
Gore is on his own planet, and is the Great and Powerful OZ. MANY scientists have discredited the Global Warming theory, but Gore is unwilling to acknowledge any of it.



This just shows the blind arrogance of an ego-maniac!
i think its just climate change and global warming and just like you know the earths temp is sorta changing and other planets could like make more light reflect onto earth if theyre in different positions
They always put the little facts like this at the very end

after all the Doom and Gloom



Ice in Alaska's Bering Sea has shrunk significantly this decade, in large part because of an unusual wind blowing warm air toward the Arctic, Overland said. But that natural effect is aggravated by global warming, which is heating Arctic areas more quickly than more southerly regions.

Aggravated by ? How Much
The sun. Who is to say that the Earth has a thermostat, and that we are somehow designated to keep it at 72 degrees? If you are a science person, you surely can't suggest that the earth has an ideal temperature that hasn't fluctuated over the eons, and if you're a religious person, then you know God won't allow global warming if He doesn't want to.
The climate is always changing, there is no correct temperature.
The Seasons.
There is a natural variation/fluctuation in temperature over time. There are periods of warming as well as periods of cooling that have taken place since we began to document temperatures on Earth.
Liberal, power grabbing Liberals are causing %26quot;climate change%26quot;... BTW...so is Mother Nature...it's cyclical...or at least the several hundred hushed up scientists seem to think so...
This answer is not PC nor is it scientific. But it's the real reason.



SIN.



oh yeah...it's gonna get worse before it gets dramatically and eternally better...
Whatever is causing changes on Jupiter must have begun many,many years ago. Jupiter is huge so changes happen very very slowly. Also, Jupiter gets very little radiation from our Sun. A minor change in our Sun's output would have little effect on Jupiter and if any effect was to be caused by our Sun on Jupiter would likely take centuries to have any effect. We just don't know what is happening on Jupiter. We have trouble enough understanding our own climate we actually live in.



Mars ice caps routinely grow and shrink. It is not an unusual occurrence. We also don't know why?



Any effect that would happen because of our Sun on Mars would likely have a ten fold reaction on our Earth. We get that much more energy, at least, from our Sun so the effect would have to be proportional.
Through high radiation they can now mess around with the weather... They been practicing it for years and in the future use it more and more.. and also the whole universe has an affect on it also!
It is a complex system that involves solar, atmospheric, and human influence.



If it is just the sun:



1. Why aren all the planets warming?



2. How do you explain the fact that the sun has been emitting less energy for about the last 2 decades?



3. Why is there no relationship between sunspots, solar flares, or solar radiation and earth temperature over the last 50 years, but there is a clear correlation between CO2 and temperature?
the war that has been going on for so long think about it
I think all the hot air coming from the Clintons is causing the global warming....................and Al Gore isn't helping either.
polution is causing a climate change!!!!
pollution
global warming
humans
Us . Check your carbon print.
the sun doesnt cause the climate change

the geography of the place does

the geography is the land, like: hills, lakes, mountains, deserts
Mars and Jupitor have such violent atmospheres, I don't know how anyone who has not landed on the planet and lived their could tell they are going through climate change, or how anyone is going to make such silly assumptions based on a few extra storms.



Talk about junk science....why are you people always siting it to deny what is going on, on this planet?
The increased amount of CO2 in the atmosphere due to the increase burning of fossil fuels.
